After Oak Bay council once again voted to keep the bike lanes on Henderson Road as part-time, a local was spurred to plan a protest.
Now, Jane van Hoorn has initiated a second protest, called a critical mass ride, in Oak Bay calling for more safe infrastructure for cyclists in the municipality.
On July 10 from 5 to 6 p.m., cyclists will ride from the University of Victoria campus to the Oak Bay municipal hall calling for safe infrastructure for cyclists.“This has been an old conversation and old discussion, I’m confused as to why Oak Bay council continues to not to try any sort of cycling infrastructure, Henderson was considered the first of what was going to be our cycling infrastructure.
The bike lanes on Henderson Road are currently part-time bike lanes. From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays they are painted bike lanes, then after that time and on weekends they are parking spots. In February, Coun. Carrie Smart brought forward a motion to turn the bike lanes into full-time bike lanes, but it was defeated 4-3.“When I discovered that Council had once again voted against the Henderson bike lane, it lit a spark in me,” van Hoorn said. “It was so unfair and so far behind that I felt I had to do something.”, and she says more than 100 people turned up to send the message to Oak Bay council.
Van Hoorn encourages anyone who wants to get involved to come down to UVic to take part in the ride, or to come to Oak Bay municipal hall afterwards to join the rally.
